Not for GPU servers Audio software-mansion Speech→text 1 build Open weights 1k dl/mo

react-native-executorch-whisper-small is an open-weight audio or speech model from software-mansion. Built for phones (ExecuTorch). It does not run on a GPU server.

  • react-native-executorch-whisper-small is a set of Whisper small models exported as ExecuTorch .pte programs for on-device automatic speech recognition in React Native.
  • The repository provides variants for CoreML, MLX, Vulkan, and XNNPACK backends with fp16, int8, or fp32 precision, and is licensed under Apache-2.0.
  • These files are compatible with the ExecuTorch v1.4.1 runtime.

Compatibility

These files are published for the ExecuTorch v1.4.1 runtime. ExecuTorch gives no forward compatibility guarantee, so an older runtime may fail to load them.

To use them in React Native ExecuTorch, pass the model constant shipped in the library's model registry to the corresponding task pipeline. See the documentation.

To load these files in your own ExecuTorch runtime, read the compatibility note first.
